User Interface:
    * Property UI
        * Refresh samba property UI after install samba.
        * After applying the change to the share, the files under the shared directory needs to have their permission updated.
        * Create a dialog to show the status and failures of permission update.
        * Think in a layout to display multiple protocols.
            * Dialogues within dialogues not ideal.
            * Aurelien Gateau recommends listview tabs at the side for each protocol.

    * KCM FIlesharing
        * Create the main UI.
        * Create a plugin for each fileshare protocol.
            * Samba
            * Bluetooth - move from bluetooth kcm
            * WebDav
            * Netatalk

WebDav
    * apache2 mod dnssd - follow gnome-user-share methods of sharing

Netatalk
    * It supports AFP 3.3(!) (Time Machine, Air Play etc.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Filing_Protocol

Miscellaneous
    * File properties "Preview" tab seems pretty broken
